The Magnetic Field Generator with CAM attaches directly to a vehicle or piece of machinery. The Collision Avoidance Module (CAM) provides warnings to powered equipment when it is at risk of collision with another truck. The operation of the CAM is similar to that of warnings for pedestrians, but a different LED/Sounder pattern is used to denote a truck in a magnetic field zone than the one used for a pedestrian in a zone. 1.1 Theory of Operation The functions of the Magnetic Field Generator with Collision Avoidance Module are:  To generate a 73 kHz field around a vehicle or piece of machinery to act as a protection zone for collision avoidance with equipment and for proximity detection for the protection of individuals.  To receive a 916.48 MHz RF signal from a Personal Alarm Device (PAD) and/or a Collision Avoidance Module (CAM).  To transmit a 916.48 MHz signal from the CAM to a Magnetic Field Generator in another vehicle. The Magnetic Field Generator with CAM (Vehicle 1) has an internal 73 kHz generator and an inductor that creates a field to serve as a cautionary zone around the vehicle or machine. It also contains a Collision Avoidance Module (CAM) with a 916.48 transmitter to notify the Generator from another vehicle (Vehicle 2) of its close proximity. When Vehicle 1 is in close proximity of Vehicle 2, the CAM (Vehicle 1) will detect the 73 kHz magnetic field from the generator (Vehicle 2) and analyze its field strength. If the 73 kHz field strength received by the CAM (Vehicle 1) is above a certain threshold, indicating the distance between Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 1 is close enough to signify a Warning condition, then the CAM will reply to the Magnetic Field Generator in Vehicle 2 with a 916.48 MHz transmission. The Magnetic Field Generator has its 916.48 MHz receiver on when it is transmitting the 73 kHz field and is “listening” to receive any 916.48 MHz transmissions from a Personal Alarm Device (PAD) or generator equipped with a CAM to indicate the individual or vehicle is too close and warrants a warning or danger condition. If the Magnetic Field Generator receives indication that a Warning or Danger condition exists, it will turn on the appropriate LED indicator and connected Warning Module (sounder for the Magnetic Field Generator). 2

The Collision Avoidance Module is connected to the Generator via an interface header. Metal near the Magnetic Field Generator may impact performance by reducing the field size. The CAM can be blinded by a Xenon strobe light or a cab silencer if installed within 21 inches of the CAM. After installing the Magnetic Field Generator/CAM on the machine, performance of the unit should be verified by operation and test. 2.1.1 Inoperability Warning The Magnetic Field Generator with CAM may experience erratic responses when in very close proximity to some electronic devices. Electrical devices may transmit an electrical field and noise from these fields may cause interference with the Magnetic Field Generator. A safe guideline is to keep the Magnetic Field Generator at least 4in or 100mm away from any electrical devices included but not limited to methane monitor, radio, mobile phone, GPS, PDA, battery charger and laptop computers. 2.2 Charging The Magnetic Field Generator/CAM is directly powered downstream when the ignition of the vehicle is turned on and requires no charging. 2.3 Alerts Magnetic Field Generators are designed to automatically adjust and maintain the original zone size. If the truck supply voltage changes or changes occur resulting in a reduction of zone sizes, the system will automatically adjust as much as 5% to ensure that the zones remain where they were initially set. If the processor senses a significant power reduction, the alarm may sound for a period of time. When the sounder is activated, power must be cycled to restore normal operation. If the problem persists, then service is required. The generator tolerates voltage fluctuations from 10-16V. A converter is needed for voltages greater than 15V. If the processer switch (SW) on the PCB is in the OFF position, a continuous alarm will sound at maximum dB. 2.4 Maintenance The Magnetic Field Generator/CAM should be regularly cleaned to reduce buildup of dust and dirt. The user should check to see if the LEDs are working before using the device. 2.5 Adjustments Magnetic field size and Warning Module Volume are adjustments which are made on the Magnetic Field Generator. To make the adjustments, remove the lid on the top housing. To 65

The volume to the Warning Module can be adjusted by turning the screw on the VOL pot. Turning in a clockwise direction will increase while turning counterclockwise will decrease the field or volume. If a CAM is installed and adjustments need to be made on the generator, the CAM must be disconnected to make the adjustments and then replaced. Adjustments must be made by a professional. 2.6 Interferences The Magnetic Field Generator may receive false triggering (generate an alarm) signals from some RF-based devices including high power radios and cell phones. Such devices will need to be moved further away from the generator. If the devices may not be moved, then the path may need to be marked to indicate areas of interference of the system. If possible the route may need to be changed. It may be possible for the generators to cause interference though this should be rare because the average energy generated by this device is quite low at 73 kHz. 2.7.1 Generator Specifications Part Number: HN-MFG Size: 30” x 3.11” x 4.375” with Mounting Arm; 8.875” x 3.06” x 3.52” without Mounting Arm Weight: 3.8 lbs./ 1.724 kg Input Voltage: 12 VDC Magnetic Field Frequency: 73 kHz pulsing AC field.

Nothing in this Section shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction or exercising any self-help remedies, whether before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that taking any such action does not waive any right that either party has to demand arbitration at any time with respect to subsequent or amended disputes claimed or filed against a party after commencement of litigation. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL. If any provision of this dispute resolution procedure is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and shall not be affected by the invalidity of any other provision. By tapping "Accept", you again agree and confirm that you have read and understood these Terms of Service and the Disclaimer. Accept V. Entire Agreement; Assignment; Miscellaneous. These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between You and us. It supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreement, oral or written, and any other communications, representations, warranties and understanding relating to the subject matter hereof. If there is a conflict between an oral or written representation of any FEP employee or agent, or any Dealer or Distributor employee or agent, and these Terms, these Terms will prevail. These Terms will prevail over other rules and policies on the System. Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms shall not be deemed either a waiver of such provision or a waiver of the right to enforce such provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties and the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The provision of these Terms which, by their terms should survive termination or expiration of these Terms, shall survive the termination or expiration hereof. FEP may assign this Agreement to any other entity of its choosing, with or without notice to You. You may not assign these Terms to any other party without the prior written consent of FEP. FEP shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies unless such waiver is in writing and signed by FEP. No delay or omission on the part of FEP in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies on future occasions. The section titles in these Terms are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. END OF HIT-NOT® WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1412
